Sky Widgets vs Drone Scout

Smart, customizable avionics widgets and safety alerts: built by a pilot, for pilots. Have you ever made a mistake while flying? Could that mistake have been avoided if you had systems in place to inform you of an issue before it was too late? As the creator of Sky Widgets, I'll be the first to say yes. I've forgotten to raise my flaps until I've already oversped them, landed with a tailwind when I didn't mean to, and even accidentally closed a fuel valve before opening the other. While I continually strive to become a better pilot, I recognize that none of us are perfect. As a software engineer, I see the potential for technology to provide that extra layer in the Swiss cheese. Having access to the right data at the right time helps us make better decisions and ultimately improves the safety of flight. I believe so strongly in the mission of Sky Widgets that even while designing the avionics layout for my own plane, I intentionally left an empty area in my panel for an iPad to allow my vision of Sky Widgets to have a dedicated spot. Sky Widgets isn't a rigid, locked down UI that forces you into fixed layouts with features you don't need for your mission. You design your dashboards around what matters to you and when in your flight you need it. • Custom Flight Dashboards: Build personalized layouts for engine data, flight telemetry, and cockpit alerts without clutter. • Smart Conditional Triggers: Set custom logic and visual cues to catch critical flight parameter changes early. • Avionics Updates: Ever forgotten to copy over your avionics update files from your computer to your USB drive? Sky Widgets lets you use your phone instead to easily transfer these onto your USB drive. • Independent & Privacy-First: Built by a fellow pilot committed to making your flights safer. Your data stays on your device. Sky Widgets will never replace your primary instruments or your responsibility as PIC. Think of it as a customizable co-pilot in your flight bag, offering specialized monitoring and tools that traditional EFIs or EFBs leave out. Start building your first dashboard now.

Drone Scout combines an FAA airspace map, an AI spot finder, and a photorealistic 3D flight simulator in one app for US drone pilots. Everything starts from the map. Roam the real world in 3D, drop a pin anywhere, and a green, yellow, or red verdict appears for that exact point, with the reasons behind it. 3D FLIGHT SIMULATOR Fly a virtual drone through a photorealistic 3D version of any real location before you drive there. Scout the site, rehearse the shot, and see restricted airspace as ceilings you can fly right up to. Twin sticks, a live HUD with altitude, heading, speed, and wind, all tuned to your aircraft's real specs from the drone catalog. NO-FLY ZONE MAP Controlled airspace, prohibited zones, stadium TFRs, and National Park Service lands drawn as real shapes over the map instead of a list of warnings. LAANC grid cells float at their true ceiling altitude, so a 400 ft limit becomes something you can see. Tap any zone for its name, ceiling, and authorization detail, and watch the verdict update as you move the pin. BEST SPOTS, BEST TIME Pin a point, set a radius, and let AI Scout analyze the whole area. It scores candidate launch spots against airspace, weather, ground clearance, and nearby scenery, then ranks the best ones for you. Every spot comes with a real photo, its authorization status, its altitude ceiling, and the time window when conditions are actually good: wind, gusts, visibility, precipitation, cloud cover, and temperature. Bookmark the ones worth keeping and they wait for you in Saved Spots. BUILT FOR US PILOTS Airspace from FAA data, park no-fly boundaries from the National Park Service, weather from Open-Meteo. Made for recreational and Part 107 pilots who want a quick, reliable read before they launch. IMPORTANT Drone Scout is an informational tool only. It is not an FAA authorization and does not replace LAANC or official airspace guidance. Coverage is limited to the United States. Always confirm current rules and conditions before you fly, and follow all FAA regulations. SUBSCRIPTION The no-fly zone map, point verdicts, and weather are free to use. A subscription unlocks AI Scout and unlimited simulator flights, and every new pilot gets three free simulator launches to try it first. You can view, change, or cancel your subscription at any time from your Apple account settings under Subscriptions.
